I am looking for a 3D engine that I can use on the Casio Prizm, and I was led to Irrlicht by its ability to run without OpenGL or Direct3D, etc. however, the engine itself is fairly strong, and I'm wondering if such an engine could really work on such a tiny platform. Am I wasting my time, or is this feasible for what I need?

Recompiling irrlicht for the Casio Prizm
Re: Recompiling irrlicht for the Casio Prizm
You are wasting your time. No known 3d will run on that, about the only thing you could do is a specific, manual, and limited 3d rendering program like those made in early DOS qbasic.

well the software drivers could be usef for that but it will likely be 1 fpm (not fps)
Re: Recompiling irrlicht for the Casio Prizm
He doesn't have the RAM nor executable size to run even the sw drivers. No C++ support either.

You may drive that calculator's lcd with a Raspberry Pi, that's the only possible way to show 3d graphics on that calculator's screen. You can also connect buttons to raspberry via GPIO's. Irrlicht should be compatiable with Raspbian Linux's OpenGL ES API.
